Obesity is a massive drain on the nhs yet is not spotlighted as bad as much as smoking. This makes no sense. People need to take more responsibility for themselves. I appreciate a lot of us live in flats and have little cash but at least we can try.

It's also clear that a lot of these viruses originate through the meat industry. Again, I ask people to defer from funding it.

I don't know if it's the western omnivores problem that people randomly like to eat bats.

I completely get your view. Try to get mine. I'm more into prevention than waiting years for a cure.

I get your view. Your life has been inconvenienced because people are getting sick because of their lifestyle choices.

In the grand scheme of things you think they should have done better and we wouldn't be in this position.

The problem with that is the reality is different and you saying masks don't work and you won't wear one makes you as bad as the people you complain about.

Bats and whatever else was in that market. But let's not forget about the origins of sars, mers and mad cow disease and so on

I agree that I might come across as callous in some of my posts but I'm not willing people to die or suffer. I've just been trying to get across that by and large people dont accept responsibility for their own health. This is easily seen through rising obesity and the illnesses associated with that. I understand that people sort of buy what they can afford but everyone can make changes to their diet and increase their exercise routines in order to prevent the death figures being so high again. As someone who exercises regularly and has eaten a vegetarian diet for over 30 years I do feel frustrated that my freedoms are being curtailed for the sake of others who have been less intelligent towards their own health for decades and I know plenty who share this view. Similar on a lesser scale in that I hated being put on class detention in school due to the actions of a few morons within our group.

This is an amazing cross to bear seemingly decades after.

Did they also say that you had a little willy and shagged plants?

And to me its obvious that more events like this will arise as population grows and so does the dodgy meat industry and the loss of space and thus reduced exercise.

No, that was you. They all said I was boss.

You mean SARS that originated from bat-eaters in China, MERS that originated from bats or being close to camels & mad cow disease which was a wholly man made problem?

Right. None of them have any connection to how humans treat animals.

Yes - people randomly eating bats mostly. MCD has almost been eradicated now they know what caused it.

You just called them morons. So, people that think you’re boss are morons. Great logic plant shagger.

 

[Tea_drinker]

And if these practices continue as I'm sure they will as they serve capitalism well we will have more frequent viral plagues rooted in the commercial farming of animals.

Ok fair enough.

But until then right now finger pointing and refusing to wear masks doesn't help.

So how about this. Accept the situation. Wear a mask and encourage others too to if thats what they want us to do.

Then when we come out of this virus wave and things are normal again we can talk about why unhealthy people are bad. Also why meat is bad.

How does that sound?

Got 26 sunflowers on the verge of flowering here. Happy lockdown.

I bought a box of masks from chinese students in town 3 months ago and handed them out to family and friends. I've got full face visors again from chinese students and given them out to people who work in shops in town. I know masks provide some people with certain peace of mind.
